meeting with my phd students is always the highlight of my day, often my week, and todays meeting with @astrobiologee.bsky.social is a prime example of that, a privillage and a pleasure to guide her development as a scholar

PhD - Space governance and Astrobiology ✨🪐🛰️ (@northumbriauni 🇬🇧) Intrigued by the potential of life beyond the cosmic coastline and legal implications 👩🚀👽🛸
What looks like an alien starship visiting a small country estate in eighteenth-century Germany is in fact, *checks notes* a giant pomelo. So nothing to see here, #skystorians
A fantastic week at #COSPAR25 in Nicosia, Cyprus where I presented at my first international conference! An absolutely amazing experience. Thank you to everyone involved for making it such a fascinating and memorable week.
1st day for my new PhD students: Nicole Green and @astrologee.bsky.social We'll be working on a project entitled 'Beyond Metalaw: Extraterrestrial Life in the International Legal Order' where we will explore the challenges extraterrestrial life poses for the international legal order.
Scafell Pike, Lake District. The tallest mountain in England. It is important to remember that whilst we search for habitable worlds out there, much of what we are looking for is right here on our beautiful Earth already. We shouldn’t take it for granted! Beautiful sights on a beautiful day!🌍🚀🪐
One of the great joys of my job is seeing brilliant new thinking. This is a fascinating piece by @astrologee.bsky.social

Take a look at my group's new paper on distinguishing biological and non-biological tubules of iron-oxide, led by Melanie Podbielski. Yes, the title is a Star Trek reference...

Happy to share my first ever published paper (as a contributor). The product of my placement year just over 2 years ago. Looking at fossilised organic/inorganic tubules on Mars. So honoured to have been part of this team. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
My new blog post for the socio-legal studies association is up about planetary protection and surface space waste! Is it possible to leave no trace in space? Should we strive for it anyway? Why?

A video from a year ago, during my undergrad degree. Little did I know at the time I’d be doing a master’s, let alone a PhD in Space law, come October. Would recommend Bio w/Sci&Soc to any young scientist for the academic and personal development opportunities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvWA...

An astonishing headline reporting on new observations from a team led to Nikku Madhusudhan claims they’ve found ‘hints of life’ on a planet orbiting a dwarf star some 124 light years away. What’s going on? (1/n) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭 🧪
Promising hints of life found on distant planet K2-18b
Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

really good thread, recently reread Dicks Biological Unniverse as Im writing a bid on the legal implications of finding ET and thought a lot the history if 'false detection' of extrasolar planets. Need to take the position of highly skeptical - risk seeing a version of the Martian Canals...

Was back in Edinburgh this week, attending a workshop about outer space from an ecological economics perspective! So interesting to discuss themes like sci-fi, space mining, settlement and ET with a fresh lens and with new people too! Also got to see the lovely @astr0mia.bsky.social too!!
Received an offer this morning for my dream PhD!!!! Extraterrestrial life and space law combined. How exciting and mind blowing that this project even exists and the fact that I get to do it is even more exciting! Got to finish the master’s first but so excited for this next chapter!

So lovely to come across a starter pack with my name on it among so many great researchers in Astrobiology. Don’t see packs pop up too often anymore but if you are interested in Astrobiology, I can recommend this pack!! 😌💫🔭
Andrea Corpolongo, Ph.D.@archeanandrea.bsky.social · 2y agoHello to all my new geoscientist (and geoscientist-curious) followers! Please let me know of any researchers/scicommers/artists/etc. who are missing from the astrobiology starter pack, including yourself! go.bsky.app/VcRCzSj
First clear night sky in Newcastle so long! Must have been two weeks or so that the clouds have covered the view. Perfect night for an astronomical society observation & lecture evening ✨

Space inspires the world around us! After a weekend in Berlin, I can see some are more obvious than others. Berlin’s famous TV Tower is inspired by the Soviet’s Sputnik. A symbol of power from East Germany The Cosmonaut (Victor Ash) is an unmissable mural on a building in Kreuzberg.
Company that has shamelessly stolen most of the world’s culture to train its crappy AI now bleats that someone has done the same thing to them. Boo hoo.

I watched Interstellar again a couple nights ago. How exciting it is to be part of a field that is so inspiring and exciting. Easily one of the best movies ever made… 👩🚀 I’m so lucky to be part of the space world. ✨
#spacetech tuesday let’s learn about a super advanced and awesome piece of #NASA technology - one that might surprise you! 🧑🚀
These are just some rocks. But they're rocks on Mars. Photographed earlier today. And now on your phone.
non-space related but my weekend welcomed a new member to my family. Little Eli (like Elijah). So far, he loves to try and stand on my laptop, sleep and give everyone a big lick and a cuddle. 🫶 My arms and shoes are covered in bite marks but my heart feels very full!
